When the news hit the Twittersphere, people went absolutely nuts! The Internet imploded with outrage and Matt Damon as Robin jokes. Why was everyone in such a huge tizzy over this news? So what if Affleck was going to play Batman? He played the superhero, Daredevil, and look how that turned out! Oh…wait. Okay, I get it now. I get it.
